Nanomechanical properties of AlTiZrNbTaV(C) high-entropy metallic glass films prepared by HiPIMS energetic ion beam
Engineering high-entropy metallic glasses (HE-MGs) often faces a trade-off between hardness and creep resistance, which limits structural deployment. This work demonstrates how interstitial carbon doping can decouple these properties in an AlTiZrNbTaV system. While carbon doping increased the hardness of AlTiZrNbTaVC by 101.60 % to 20.32 GPa, it paradoxically degraded creep resistance. As the strain rate sensitivity (m) of AlTiZrNbTaVC increased more than threefold, from 0.0401 for AlTiZrNbTaV to 0.1501 for AlTiZrNbTaVC. Relaxation time spectrum analysis reveals this degradation stems from lower activation energy barriers for shear transformation zones (STZs). These results establish that the activation energy of STZs, rather than free volume, is the dominant factor controlling room temperature creep in this system. This provides a clear strategy for tailoring HE-MGs by tuning their atomic-scale heterogeneity to achieve a targeted balance between hardness and stability.
